In Python 3.1, you can replace name=os.fsencode(name) by
name=name.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding(), 'surrogateescape'). The
mbcs codec doesn't support surrogateescape. In Python 3.2 it does now
raise an error (and so os.fsencode() uses strict error handler if the
encoding is mbcs), whereas Python 3.1 just ignores the error handler (it
uses 'ignore' to encode).

In Python 2, self.executable is already a byte string (you don't need
os.fsencode()).
